to a medal and also is entitled to have his name prominently displayed in the baseball hall of fame. He “took it” on his bankroll to the tune of about $7,500 to keep his word with the kids of Boston. In other words he turned away about 10,000 cash customers last Friday to permit 7,500 children to see the Braves-Giants double-header free of charge. The crowd numbered 51,300 paid. Several weeks ago Prexy Fuchs promised the kids of Beantown he would admit them free to Braves field on Sept. 1. After that the Braves started climbing in the race and when Sept. 1 arrived they were mixed up in a fight with the Giants for first place. a a a it a s> THERE wasn’t an empty seat in the park at Boston last Friday and there was an overnow on the field of 5,000. On the outside, thousands milled, flashed money at the box ofTire, clawpd and pleaded to be sent through. but their money was counterfeit insofar as Prexy Fuchs and his 7.500 lads were concerned. The boys went in. at no cost, occupied sections reserved for them while the club owner passed up big money. He put his promise to Young America ahead of $7,500 in cash. That's paying a high price for good will, but there are other years and those 7,500 kids are certain to be loyal cash customers of the future. a a a a a a ANSWERING a query from The Times regarding the date of the publication of his all-big league mythical team for 1933, Babe Ruth announced in a wire today he would have it ready for release on Saturday of this week. The Bambino also will place his team of ten players in batting order, the two pitchers occupying ninth position. The Babe is spending the first of this week perusing the statistics of the two leagues He evidently decided to wait until after the Labor day double headers before making his selections. Invitation to city and state fans to endeavor to match Ruths team expired at midnight of Aug. 31. Following is another group of selections sent to The Times by fans:

SO many combinations of lineups have been submitted to The Times in the “match Ruth” game that it's almost a sure thing that one or more fans will match the Babe player for player. Whether any of the ‘amateur experts" match his batting order is another thing. It has demonstrated that Hoosier baseball followers are right up to scratch on dishing out the fan fodder” and if anybody thinks baseball is dead in Indiana he’s crazy. This was not an event for prizes and there was no “contest." but The Times was swamped with fan teams anyway, which is ample proof baseball addicts are still baseball addicts. a a a a ts a Down in the Piedmont League the umpires travel from town to town in their own automobiles to fill engagements.

Gar Wood Retains Speedboat Trophy; Briton to Try Again

p,, United Prr*s DETROIT. Sept. s.—When Gar Wood attempts the eighth consecutive defense of his world speedboat supremacy in 1934. he will face a larger and more powerful British boat than the diminutive Miss Britain 111 which he defeated in the Tlarmsworth trophy race on the St. Clair river Monday. Red-headed Hubert Scott-Paine of England, jubilant in defeat, said Monday night he intended returning to the United States next year for another crack at the Harmsworth plaque with an enlarged edition of the Miss Britain 111. The jovial Briton was pleased with the performance of his boat. It lost to Wood’s big. powerful Miss America X by 22.33 seconds over the thirtv-flve-mile run. It was

Moreover, Scott-Paine did something no other challenger ever accomplished against Wood—finished both races, Monday's and the first heat on Sat- . urday. Victories in two straight heats gave Wood the series. Wood’s average speed was 86.937 miles an hour, while Scott-Paine averaged 85.789. At no time did the champion appear more than quarter of a mile ahead of the challenger, and the crowd of 125,000 along the shores received an unexpected thrill after Wood’s easy win Saturday. No records w T ere broken. The better showing Monday by Miss Britain was due to the fact that Scott-Paine installed anew motor In his boat on Sunday.

Vines Opens Defense of Net Title Against Brilliant Field

By United Press , FOREST HILLS. N. Y., Sept. 5. Facing the most brilliant field since the amateur days of Big Bill Tilden, Ellsworth Vines of California will start the delayed defense of his j national tennis title today at the west side club. The lanky champion drew a bye in Saturday’s first round, and rain prevented the second round Monday. Vines’ opponent in the second, which totals sixty-four survivors, is Ray Palmer Jr., New York. Many of the experts would not be surprised to see Vines lose his title before the finals are concluded Sunday because of the classy opposition and because of Vines’ defeats at

INDIANAPOLIS, TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 5, 1933

Columbus has first position clinched, but is not letting down by any means, owing to the fact it is necessary to keep at the peak of form to be ready for the pennant play-off seven-game series with Minneapolis that will begin in Columbus on Sept. 12, two days after the windup of the regular schedule. Weinert Shades Daglia The Indians dropped two out of three in Louisville, losing the one Sunday tilt and splitting even in a double header on Labor day. Pete Daglia opposed Phil Weinert in the Monday opener and the Colonel southpaw grabbed the honors by the narrow margin of 2 to 1. Weinert held the Hoosiers to six hits and Louisville collected nine off Daglia. The Colonels bunched three safeties in the second session and also were helped by a passed ball. An error, hit and fielder's choice accounted for the one Tribe tally of the game in the fourth. Jim Turner had one of his good days in the second Monday conflict and won, 4 to 1, the Colonels escaping a shutout by scoring in the last inning. Jim gave up only four hits, all singles, and struck out five. Three Hits for Cooney The Indians bombarded McKain and Hatter for fourteen wallops, including doubles by Sigafoos and Cooney and a triple by Chapman. Cooney led the attack with three safeties. The Tribe crossed the plate twice in the initial inning, once in the second and once in the eighth. Turner had excellent control and issued no walks for eight rounds. In the ninth, however, he passed Simons and Adair, after Rosen had singled, and a long fly by Thompson scored Rosen with the lone marker of the tussle for Louisville. The Monday twin bill drew the smallest holiday crowd in Louisville history. Paid attendance was 725. Cochet to Play Big Bill Tilden By United Press PARIS, Sept. s.—Dapper Henri Cochet, ace of the French Davis Cup tennis team for seven years, will play his first important matches as a professional against Big Bill Tilden of the United States at Auteuil, Sept. 22, 23 and 24, the newspaper L’lntransigeant said Monday. Cochet and Tilden will meet again in New York in February, the paper said. Mrs. Moody to Take Long Rest By United Tress SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. s.—Absolute rest will be one phase of the treatment of Helen Wills Moody, internationally famous tennis star, at Stanford university hospital here, it was evident today. Dr. C. A. Wills, her father, who ordered her to the hospital after examination of the injured vertebrae that caused her to default to Helen Jacobs in the national women’s tournament, left orders that she should not be permitted visitors. RED SOX BUY HURLER By Times Special BOSTON, Sept, s.—Fred Ostermueller, big 24-year-old southpaw hurler rated as one of the best in the International League, has been purchased by the Boston Red Sox from Rochester. He will report to Boston at the start of next season. Three unnamed players and an unnamed sum of cash go to Rochester in the deal. Despite an appendicitis operation this year, Ostermueller has won sixteen games and lost seven.

Other dangerous contenders are Frank Shields of New York, Fred Perry, ace of Britain's triumphant Davis cup team; Jiroh Satoh, Japan; Wilmer Allison, Texas; Lester Stoefen, Los Angeles, and Clifford Sutter, New Orleans.
